video request (Iowa/ISU) (Clip Added)
9:50 of 2nd half. PC called on Iowa; from Hooters it looked like upward motion play.

All plays at Hooter's look like upward motion. That's their business model

Here's the non-Hooters view of the play...

Huh. I liked the call while watching it last night. Looks like it technically should've been a block.

I don't see how any set of rules says that isn't a PC. It looks like he started his upward motion, and technically the official could have called a block and been right by the book.

Are you kidding me? That's an easy block, how could that official miss that call from the perfect position?! This is horrible! That cost the Hawkeyes the game! {/fanboy rant} |
While, by NCAA-M, that is a block, I do not like it. This play is a perfect example of a defender doing a pretty good job of cutting off the path to the basket but getting penalized for it. In my opinion, with respect to the new rule, he was 1/2 a step from making it in time. He stepped forward and got one foot down before the shooter started up but didn't get the 2nd foot down until the shooter was moving up. The shooter still had plenty of time to change directions. They've made it practically impossible to guard the basket against drives.

If the defender gets in position too early to take the charge, the driving player simply dishes the ball to whoever the secondary defender was guarding previously. |
